A Day in Xcaret

End of May 2007, flew to Cancun, stayed in Playa del Carmen and drove all over the Yucutan checking out ruins. Of course I hung out at the beach too!

A Day in Xcaret

Xcaret is kind of an eco-theme park.  I really didn’t know what to expect when I went.  All I knew is that I wanted to swim/float down an underground river and that was something I could do there.  I found a lot more than I expected though.  It wasn’t as much a theme park as kind of a zoo, botanical gardens and various replicas of Mayan and Spanish architecture.  I ended up easily wandering around the place all day and I enjoyed swimming through the caves even though there were a lot of people.
